We are so excited for camping this season. SO EXCITED! It’s hard to express our level of excitement in words. Really. We just bought a new camping oven, an oven… to take camping!!! And I cannot wait to test out a few recipes in that puppy. Let me tell ya!
Foil Packet meals are truly the way to go when camping. They allow you to throw all of your ingredients together in one packet to cook. Then you just toss the tin foil and have very little mess and clean up ~ which is really the goal when you are camping!
How to make foil packet butter chicken:
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts (1 lb), cut into strips
1/2 cup (125ml) of butter chicken sauce
** I buy this sauce in a jar from Costco but you can also find butter chicken sauce on Amazon (aff link) **
10 button mushrooms, sliced
1/2 small onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
Directions:
1. Place your ingredients on the shiny side of the tin foil. The shine helps to reflect the heat and creates a little oven in your packet. We layered our chicken with the vegetables on top. Then we roll the foil into a packet. I find that it helps to fold the edges of the foil over once before creating a package ~ the foil is more sturdy that way.
2. Cook on grill or campfire over medium heat for 25-30 minutes. This can be served alone, with rice or a side salad.
I love using foil packets to create “one pot” style meals while camping. It really simplifies meal planning, preparation and clean up while in the great outdoors!
